She’s Sharing The Best Date Cancelation Text She Ever Received From A Guy That Was So Respectful
The behaviors you might see in casual dating range from ghosting and catfishing to sending unsolicited photos.
So, it’s a breath of fresh air when you finally meet someone who is mature, polite, and straightforward about their intentions.
TikToker Jenna (@yeehawjenna) is talking about the best date cancelation text she has ever received from a guy.
It was so well-crafted and respectful that she immediately decided she would use the same message for her future dating endeavors.
She added that it was a rare green flag, and it made her open to going on a date with him if he ever changed his mind about her later on. Then, she proceeded to recite what he had written to her.
“He was like, ‘Hey, I’ve been thinking a lot, and there’s someone else who I’ve been going on dates with, and I kind of just want to see that through.'”
Jenna explained that she liked how he was not afraid to direct more of his focus and energy toward one person with whom he was building a genuine connection.
She appreciated that he engaged in clear communication, even if it did leave her a little disappointed. It was much better than the usual alternative of ghosting.
With ghosting, it’s easy to assume that the other person will get the hint, but it becomes old pretty quickly.

Practicing clear communication is the most healthy way of letting someone down when it comes to dating.
Jenna is no stranger to ghosting. She has experienced it several times and participated in the phenomenon herself. Now, she is taking this guy’s message as a lesson on how she wants to navigate dating.
In the comments section, many TikTok users shared how they were happy to receive a similar type of text from a guy.
“This happened to me a few weeks ago and I thought how lucky that girl is to have found such a respectful guy!!” exclaimed one user.
“Omg, this happened to me a few months back! And then two months later, he reached back out and we did end up going on a first date,” stated another.
“Omg, no same, my FWB texted me and said he started seeing someone more seriously, and it just made me so happy to have that conversation so easily,” chimed in a third.
But on the opposite side of things, others have revealed that sending cancelation texts themselves did not garner positive results.
“I’ve done this before, and the man said thanks for wasting my time. Very telling of their character,” shared one user.
“Lol, the first and last time I did that for a man, I got screamed at. Ghosting is okay sometimes,” wrote another.
“Did that one time. Woke up to 85 text messages and 30 missed calls,” commented someone else.
